Faith@Home Mom Insight #5

From the newly released Faith Begins at Home Mom by Pastor Mark Holmen & Maria Holmen

Well, you can be overwhelmed right now or you can just get started somewhere doing something of what God has commanded you to do. To be honest…getting overwhelmed is not an option. Getting overwhelmed is like saying to your child “since I think I might fail at this or don’t want to look foolish in front of you or I don’t have time to add ONE more thing to my plate, then I am not going to try at all.” Sorry, not acceptable. It doesn’t matter if the only thing you start with is saying a blessing before a meal EVERY time you eat. Or asking your child when they jump in the car EVERY day, “Hey, any blessings God showed you today?” Or waking them up EVERY morning with a small prayer of thanks for the day that is to come. Did you catch what was key? EVERY. When the journey begins between you and your kids, it has to be intentional. Without the intent, without the non-negotiable behavior, without the “stick to it” determination, it will fall away like all great things that start on a Monday with gusto and end on Saturday with a fizzle. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
